Users of Niconico Douga will launch an artificial satellite from Nevada, US on September 19th. The satellite carries a movable figure of Hachune Miku (a derivative character of VOCALOID Hatsune Miku). The project involves Nojiri Housuke (the novel author of "Rocket Girls").

I honestly don't know what to say. On one hand, I have never heard of the series, so I believe it to be famous enough for that. On the other, I honestly don't know why the hell humankind are launching this sort of stuff in space. What the hell.....
